I bought Requiem on DVD around 8 years ago and have still never rewatched it. Not because there is anything wrong with it but because I found it so damn good, I didn't want to spoil my enjoyment of it by repeated viewings if that makes sense.

The Basketball Diaries is a decent film but nothing more.

As for The Machinist. Superb central performance aside, I found it to be rather average personally and a film with a twist in the tale that actually detracts from it's plus points rather than enhance it.

If you take out the performance of Bale you do get a rather average but well directed film with a twist.
